A rally will be held in Boston on Monday afternoon in response to federal immigration raids in Los Angeles and across the country. In a statement, the Massachusetts chapter of the national group 50501 “vigorously” condemned “the violent actions of ICE and the Trump administration against peaceful protesters in Los Angeles,” and said it is “mobilizing in solidarity with local union leaders in Massachusetts.” The 50501 group will lead the nonviolent “emergency rally” at Boston City Hall Plaza from 2 p.m. until 3 p.m. Participants will organize at 1:30 p.m. ... “This is an attack on American liberty,” said Mass...

If you are a Californian, the current LA riots are an example of your tax dollars hard at work. The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Right—CHIRLA—is one of the key players in fomenting the violent response to immigration enforcement actions. It’s an LA-based nonprofit with a history of taking radical positions on immigration; for example, it led a 2018 campaign to abolish ICE. It currently leads the Los Angeles Rapid Response Network, which gathers intel about enforcement actions and deploys activists to respond. CHIRLA has strong ties to the Democrat Party in California and has supported the election of Democratic candidates...

An autopen — if you’ve somehow avoided any major political news in the last six months — is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a device that automatically recreates signatures for an individual. It’s also one of the most controversial things to emerge from former President Joe Biden’s … shall we say “polarizing” lone presidential term. ... To wit, it’s hardly a secret that Biden wasn’t exactly the epitome of good health during his presidency. To say nothing of recent devastating health diagnoses (the 46th president has an aggressive prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones), Biden’s lone term...

CNN is upset that President Trump accurately labeled the LA rioters “insurrectionists.” President Trump on Monday referred to the LA rioters as “insurrectionists” and “professional agitators.” The rioters launched explosives at a federal detention facility in downtown Los Angeles over the weekend. .... Snip.... CNN’s Dana Bash was peeved that President Trump called rioters who were launching commercial grade explosives at a federal building and assaulting federal agents “insurrectionists.” CNN panelist Stephen Collinson said Trump’s language is dangerous. According to CNN, Trump calling the rioters insurrectionists is much worse than the illegal aliens assaulting law enforcement and burning cars. WATCH:

Should Minnesota House Rep Kaohly Her be deported after she admitted to being an illegal alien? The fact is that I think she is lying. She's implying that since her citizenship is based on a mistake she is somehow 'illegal'. I call B.S. but if she insists perhaps Secretary Rubio can make an exception and deport her based on her claim... UNFORCED ERROR? ... with her parents.

Production of vodka in Russia has plummetted by more than 13%, according to the latest data. The dip occurred between January and May as the country also deals with a shortage of potatoes. On May 14, President Vladimir Putin admitted that Russians "don’t have enough potatoes". Figures suggest that, in the first few months of 2025, the price of the crop surged by 52%, while the overall harvest dropped by 12%. In the first five months of 2025, Armenia exported nearly twice as many potatoes to Russia as it did during the first half of 2024, and almost 17 times...

Sly Stone, the frontman of legendary band Sly and the Family Stone, has died. He was 82. Stone, born Sylvester Stewart, had been in poor health in recent years. His publicist Carleen Donovan said Monday that Stone died surrounded by family after contending with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other ailments. Sly and the Family Stone transformed popular music in the 1960s and ’70s and beyond with such hits as "Everyday People," "Stand!" and "Family Affair."

Explanation: Can you identify this celestial object? Likely not — because this is a discovery image. Massive stars forge heavy elements in their cores and, after a few million years, end their lives in powerful supernova explosions. These remnants cool relatively quickly and fade, making them difficult to detect. To uncover such faint, previously unknown supernova remnants, a dedicated group of amateur astrophotographers searched through sky surveys for possible supernova remnant candidates. The result: the first-ever image of supernova remnant G115.5+9.1 — named Scylla by its discoverers—glowing faintly in the constellation of the mythological King of Aethiopia: Cepheus. Emission from...

Think about that! The left has never had such a battle. Because they've had pantywaists as opponents. No longer.

China produces the entire world’s supply of samarium, a rare earth metal that the United States and its allies need to rebuild inventories of fighter jets, missiles and other hardware.China’s strict controls on the export of heat-resistant magnets made with rare earth minerals have exposed a major vulnerability in the U.S. military supply chain.Without these magnets, the United States and its allies in Europe will struggle to refill recently depleted inventories of military hardware.For more than a decade, the United States has failed to develop an alternative to China’s supply of a specific kind of rare earth crucial for the...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) announced his plans to sue the Trump administration for “illegally act[ing] to federalize the National Guard” to contain the Los Angeles anti-deportation riots, accusing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth of being “in over his head.” When asked by left-wing YouTuber Brian Taylor Cohen if he has any “confidence” that Hegseth will be as “principled” as former Defense Secretary Mark Esper was on Monday, Newsom coldly responded, “Pete Hegseth is a joke. He’s a joke. Everybody knows it, so in over his head. What an embarrassment.” “That guy’s just weakness masquerading as strength. I don’t even know...

I KEEP GETTING WHAT I VOTED FOR. In the midst of the positive jobs reports from the last few months, there's one number more important than them all: Banner Ad Are Americans being hired at lower rates than "migrants"?

The U.S. Congress has officially received a $9.4 billion rescission request from the White House — one that Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson said will eliminate billions of dollars in “wasteful foreign aid spending” at the State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development. “Under President Trump, every federal taxpayer dollar is actually being used to serve the American people, not to fund a bloated bureaucracy or purely partisan pet projects,” Johnson wrote on X. “We thank Elon Musk and his DOGE team for identifying a wide range of wasteful, duplicative, and outdated programs, and House Republicans are eager to...

The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. During the War of 1812, the Redcoats set fire to the White House. But neither could have ruined America’s wealthiest and most populous state. Our current enemies are the most dangerous the USA has ever faced. The Democratic Party is comprised of them. This has become undeniably obvious as Democrats at every level side with the Los Angeles rioters against those who would defend our country from foreign invasion — from Los Angeles City Council Member Eunisses Hernandez… (VIDEO ON LINK) …to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass… Several Trump administration officials fired back at Los...

Los Angeles is once again on fire. Protests, arrests, and violent clashes with law enforcement have erupted following a federal crackdown on illegal immigration. In response, and without invitation from local officials, the Trump administration federalized the California National Guard, raising constitutional concerns and appearing to further inflame the unrest.But scratch beneath the surface, and this is neither an organic uprising nor a lawful resolution. What we are witnessing appears to be a carefully orchestrated sequence — a textbook “problem-reaction-solution” cycle designed to usher in the next phase of authoritarian governance.Problem: Manufacturing CrisisThe unrest in Los Angeles stems from policies...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal judge in California has blocked the Trump administration from enforcing anti-diversity and anti-transgender executive orders in grant funding requirements that LGBTQ+ organizations say are unconstitutional. U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar said Monday that the federal government cannot force recipients to halt programs that promote diversity, equity and inclusion or acknowledge the existence of transgender people in order to receive grant funding. The order will remain in effect while the legal case continues, although government lawyers will likely appeal. The funding provisions “reflect an effort to censor constitutionally protected speech and services promoting DEI and...
